Default brake pads

Hi guys, can someone quickly tell me what sort or brake pads i need for my MY99 rex. There is about 3 different options when i go to the shop and don't know which ones to get...neither do the guys behind the counter mind you!
One says 260mm rotor, another says 2.0litre wrx etc
I dont understand how they cannot tell me. Just need some bendix or something for now til i upgrade rotors later

Thanks for your help
Scott

bendix ultimate will do the job, but hell noisy.....

i've used ferodo, and they were pretty good, low in brake dust, but they do chew on your rotors...

Get Bendix Ultimates and tell them they are to suit MY99/MY00 4 pots. Popular pad same as 4 pot Nissan 200sx, skyline etc. (part number is db1170 from memory)

260mm would be the N/A rotor. 277mm is 98 and earlier 2 pots, 4 pots are 294mm.
